RAZOR- Applioation filed Septe To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I zen of the United St dina, in the count Florida, ha

,GEoReEL.RoUx,acitiates, residingat Fernany of Nassau and State of i ve invented a new and useful wing is a specificatron. v

This invention re lates to razors; and its ob ect is to provide a device of this character utilizing a rotary blade adapted to be "operi ated by any suitable power. 7 1

other object is to provide a combined guard and casing for the blade which is of novel construction and arrangement.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction and combinationsv of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings is shown I rm of the invention.

In said drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal i section through. the razor. Fig. 2 is a transverse section therethrough, and Fig. 3 is'an elevation of the outer casing or guard. I

Referring to the figures by characters of reference, 1 is a cylindrical casing, referably formed of a very thin sheet of meta and having a plurality of parallel slots 2 formed therein at points close together and extending partly around the casin The ends of This peculiar contour. s te portions curved 1n blade has its oppo osite directions, as

The shaft 5 may be rotated b blade will travel over the inner face of". t e casing. By placing the slotted portion of the casin u on that .ortion of the face to be shaved .t e card w-il project through the mber 10, 1906.

blade will remove quickly and effectually. The blade produces a shearing action :because of the spiral arrangement of its cutting edges, and as the casing is formed of very thin material it will be seen that a 'very close shave can be had by using this razor, it merely being necessary to press the slotted portion of the casing firmly against the part to be shaved. I

The preferred form of the invention has been set forth in the foregoing description; but I do not limit myself thereto, as I am aware that modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit or sacrificing the advantages thereof, and I therefore reserve the right to makesuch changes as fairly fall within the scope of the claims.

hat is claimed is 1.- A razor comprising a casing and a cutting-blade rotatably mounted with and bearing upon the inner surface of the casing, said blade having a spiral edge, said casing being provided with a plurality of parallel s ots extending in the direction of movement of the blade.

2. A razor' comprising openings therein, and a s tably mounted Within and inner face of the a casing having firing-blade rot acaring upon the casing, said blade having razor comprising a casing having openings therein, a s ring-blade detachably mounted and rotatab e Within the casing, the edges of said blade being spiral and bearing upon the inner face of the casing.

4. A r'azor comprising a casing having openings therein, a slotted shaft rotatably mounted within the casin and a spring blade detachably mounte within the slot and rotatable with the shaft, said blade of the casing. In a razor the combination with acasing having openings therein; ofa handle detachably connectedto and adapted to close one end of the. casing, a shaft rotatably mounted Within the handle and casing, said shaft having a longitudinal slot therein, and a transversely-curved spring-blade detachably mounted within the slot and exerting a constant pressure upon the inner surface of the casing. 6. In a razor the combination with a cas- I1 ing having openings therein; of ahandle detachably connected to and adapted to close one end of the casing, a shaft rotatably mounted Within the handle and casing, said 1 In testimony that I claim the foregoing as shaft having a longitudinal slottherein, and l my own I have hereto afiixed my signature a transversely-curved spring-blade detach- I in the presence of two Witnesses.
